Ask HN: How do you figure out where data lives across 100 microservices?
Every time I need to work with an unfamiliar service, it’s the same loop: grep through repos, find stale or nonexistent docs, Slack someone who might remember the nuances. For anything complex this eats 2-3 hours before actual work starts.
Curious what’s actually working for people at scale. Backstage/Cortex-style catalogs? AI-based approaches? Or just tribal knowledge and accepting the tax?
